MASSENA—Two movies
will be shown Friday (Nov. 10) at the admission-free Hawkins Point
Visitors Center at the New York Power Authority’s St.
Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project.

Friday’s schedule
begins at 1 p.m. with “Cars.” “The Wild,” will be shown at 3 p.m.
Both showings will be in the Visitors Center theater.

In “Cars,”
Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking
the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season ends
in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in
California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest
desert. “The Wild” tells the story of a cuddly koala who wants to
be fierce, a squirrel in love with a sarcastic giraffe, an addle-pated
anaconda, and a lion with a secret as they set off from their cozy
zoo to rescue the lion's adolescent cub from an accidental
kidnapping.

Besides enjoying
the movies, visitors can sample the array of hands-on exhibits at
the $5 million Hawkins Point facility, which presents information on
such themes as Water Power and the St. Lawrence-FDR project, Basics
of Electricity and Uses of Electricity. Another highlight is the
panoramic view of the project’s power dam from Hawkins Point.

The visitors center
is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
